I finally got all the ingredients together to make the tart! The recipe is really simple as everything is mixed up in the blender. Instead of using just the juice, this recipe uses the whole lemon. I found the tart to be a bit too bitter from the lemon peel and pith. I just don't like bitter foods. Both Dave and my neighbor thought it tasted good, so don't go by me on this one.
To be a bit more fancy-pants, I decided to caramelize sugar on top of the tart-Dorie mentions this in the original recipe. This is the same technique used in Creme Brulee. I had never used this little culinary blowtorch before, and except for a relatively minor explosion with some spilled butane, the caramelizing wasn't too difficult-just time comsuming. Still, it's neat to try some thing new, though Dave was standing by with the fire extinguisher the whole time as I am known to be VERY clumsy.

Yay! you made it. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I wanted to try torching the top, but I got too lazy. Glad your friends enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteHA HA! My husband would be standing by with the fire extinguisher, too, if I used a torch! :)
